Learn the correct technique for using the TePe GOOD Mini Extra Soft toothbrush. This guide covers grip, brushing motion, and common mistakes to avoid for gentle, effective cleaning.
Quick answer
Use a gentle, circular motion with the TePe GOOD Mini Extra Soft at a 45-degree angle to the gumline, applying light pressure. Focus on one tooth at a time for about 10 seconds per surface.
Why the TePe GOOD Mini Extra Soft needs a different technique
The TePe GOOD Mini Extra Soft is designed for tiny mouths and sensitive gums. Its ultra-soft bristles and compact head require a lighter touch than a standard toothbrush. Pressing too hard can bend the bristles and reduce cleaning effectiveness, while the smaller head allows better access to back molars.
Because it's made with bio-based plastic and renewable materials, the brush is slightly lighter than some alternatives. This can feel different at first, but it helps children or adults with limited dexterity control the brush more easily.
How to brush with the TePe GOOD Mini Extra Soft
- Step 1: Wet the bristles and apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste: Run the brush under lukewarm water to soften the bristles slightly. Use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. For children under 3, use a rice-grain amount. Common mistake: using too much toothpaste. This creates excess foam that can make it hard to see where you've brushed.
- Step 2: Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gumline: Place the bristles where the tooth meets the gum. The extra-soft bristles should gently slide under the gum edge. Do not press hard—let the bristle tips do the work. Checkpoint: if the bristles flatten against the tooth, you are pressing too hard. Reduce pressure until the bristles stay upright.
- Step 3: Use short, circular motions on each tooth surface: Move the brush in small circles (about the width of one tooth) for 10 seconds per surface. Start with the outer surfaces, then inner surfaces, then chewing surfaces. The compact head makes it easier to reach back teeth. Common mistake: scrubbing back and forth like a saw. This can damage gums and miss plaque. Stick to gentle circles.
- Step 4: Brush the tongue and rinse: After finishing all tooth surfaces, gently brush the tongue from back to front to remove bacteria. Rinse the brush with water and store it upright to air dry. Checkpoint: replace the TePe GOOD Mini Extra Soft every 3 months or sooner if bristles show wear.
